Two loud explosions went off in the Ugandan capital, Kampala with two people reported dead and several others injured.
Witnesses said one blast happened near a police station and another along a street near the parliamentary building.
That blast appeared to target a building housing an insurance company, and the subsequent fire engulfed cars parked outside.
Some lawmakers were seen evacuating the precincts of the parliamentary building nearby, according to national broadcaster UBC.
An eyewitness video posted online showed a plume of white smoke rising from the blast scene near the police station.
Police did not immediately comment, and it was not clear if the explosions were bomb attacks.
